NY Gov. Hochul’s Push for Nuclear: Is Nuclear the Answer to Climate Change?

Is nuclear the answer to global warming? As New York fails to meet its critical climate goals, Gov. Hochul is pushing a major U-turn back to nuclear power.
How different are the small modular reactors that Gov. Hochul is pushing? How clean and fast is nuclear power, truly? Are these “advanced” nuclear options any safer? Do we want them in our own neighborhoods?
We’ll hear from two experts, Tim Judson Executive Director of Nuclear Information and Resource Service and Mitch Jones, Managing Director of Policy and Litigation for Food & Water Watch. They’ll speak to us about the risks associated with the new nuclear options that Gov. Hochul is pushing. They’ll answer the questions, do we need nuclear – and is nuclear the answer to climate change? We’ll also discuss actions we can all take.
Following our speakers, we’ll also discuss local actions to protest the Trump administration assault on environmental and other protections, as well as local issues.
